Summary:
Around 1933, German-Jewish refugees in the Los Angeles area began meeting to assist each other with the adjustment to their new lives in America. They formed an informal club called “The German-Jewish Club of 1933.” In 1938, the club made a formal request for a charter with the state of California. In the beginning, the club's goals included assisting victims of persecution with immigration, helping its members become valuable citizens, providing vocational guidance, and organizing cultural and social activities. In the 1950s, the club recognized a need to house its older and needy members and obtained money to establish the Jewish Home for the Aging.
